[agitated, panting] Calm down... I don't feel like forgiving Pearl!... You don't understand, you must... If you're not going to listen, then you can just GO! [splits into Ruby and Sapphire]
[calmly] We must move past this, Ruby.
[furiously] She lied to us so we'd form Sardonyx! She tricked us! Don't you feel used?!
[surprised] Ruby! Sapphire! I…
You're choosing to take it personally.
IT'S FUSION, SAPPHIRE! WHAT'S MORE PERSONAL TO US THAN FUSION?!
I know you're still upset...
Of course not. Can't you see I'm completely engulfed with rage?
Well, it doesn't feel like it!
The sooner we forgive Pearl, the better it will be for us all.
YOU'RE NOT AS ABOVE THIS AS YOU THINK YOU ARE!
[about Ruby, while she shakes the table] This will pass. She'll eventually just burn herself out.
[angrily] THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK! I AM AN ETERNAL FLAME, BABY! [flips the table]
[while Greg talks to Steven, arguing with each other simultaneously]
How could I possibly not know you? We always fuse! We always fuse, what are you even going on about fusion?
Look at you! [laughing] You don't even know yourself! Ha!
So don't act so ridiculous.
RSRuby & Sapphire
Steven!
[enraged] I was so happy when Garnet said she wanted to go on this trip with me and Dad! Home's been awful! Here's been awful! I thought you wanted to have a fun time, but everyone's been acting awful too! It... it just came with us! I don't understand! Is it... is it me?
...No! Steven, it's all us!
But we made him feel like it was his fault... I keep looking into the future, when all of this has already been solved, as if it doesn't matter how you feel in the present! [starting to cry] No wonder you think I don't care...!
Sapphire... No, nonononono! This is all my fault, I... I didn't want to look for a solution, I... I just wanted to be mad! You're right! You're always right! I was being stupid!
I don't think you're stupid!
I'm... sorry. [gently brushes Sapphire's hair aside, revealing her sad eye]
You honestly think I'm not upset about what happened? I was just... trying to do the right thing.
I know... [starts smiling] You know what's nice about being split up?
[pushes her off, laughing] Be serious!
[hugs Sapphire] There's my Laughy Sapphy!
Shh! You're embarrassing me in front of Steven! [cut to Steven, feeling awkward at the scene]
Hey, Pearl! [sees a desolate Pearl sitting on the couch, looking at the ceiling] Pearl?
[jumps up] Steven! You're back!
Yeah... [sits down] Show business is rough.
Is there something I can help you with?
Not unless you can make William Dewey interesting.
How do you know William Dewey?
I'm gonna be him in this play! But he's totally boring! He's perfect and he never makes mistakes.
[sigh] Wish I could say the same for myself.
Yeah, but nobody's like that! Everybody gets stuff wrong, and then you have to keep going and it's hard, which is why it's great when you never stop trying!
..When did you get so smart?
[Steven and the Gems warp into the Galaxy Warp and find Peridot, gathering pieces of the Homeworld Warp]
Stupid broken warp. First, the Communication Hub. Now this is busted again. These Crystal Gems are a menace.
Oh, aha! Look! I was right! My plan worked perfectly!
[waves at her] Good morning!
What?! How did you know I was here?
We found a secret way to track you, and we'll never tell you how, even if you ask nicely.
[Steven and the Gems enter a room in the ship. Peridot appears on a projected screen]
[laughs] You Gems really are as dull as dirt!
You're the dull one if you thing you can fly this wreck!
[pauses] What? Can you speak louder? Some of these communicators are gunked up.
[cleans off a microphone, speaks into it] Pearl says you're the dull one if you think you can fly this wreck!
[waits for Steven's response to come through] [laughs] Fly? I'm not using this vessel to fly. I'm using it to TRAP YOU! [a door closes, trapping Steven and the Gems in the room] Isn't this nice? No more Crystal Gems running around, messing with my plans, destroying my things. Looks like I've got you just where I want you. How does it feel to be so easily outsmarted, you CLODS?!
[speaks into the microphone] Hey, uh, this is Amethyst. I don't appreciate being called a clod, you clo-
Enough talk! Prepare yourselves for annihilation! [dramatically hits a button] Hiyah! [nothing happens, hits it again] Hiyah!
[the room's laser cannons activate and take aim at Steven and the Gems]
It works! Yes! DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIIIIE!
[through screen] Garnet… I'm sorry!
Things weren't supposed to turn out this way... [inside, Garnet punches the wall again]
We'll get outta here somehow.
[sighs] That's not what I mean! I really wanted to catch Peridot to make up for what I did... [Garnet withdraws her gauntlets] I wanted to prove to you that... that everything could go back to normal...
Catching Peridot won't make things go back to normal. [through screen] This isn't about Peridot.
Hey... they're actually talking!
Now they can finally work things out!
[soon, the gears start to activate and turn and start closing into the trapped two]
[both Garnet and Pearl push their unflinching sides]
Please! Tell me! How can I make you forgive me?!
You can't! You lied to me! You need to learn that there are consequences to your actions!
I'm sorry! I... I couldn't help myself!
[kicks opposite side of wall next to Pearl] I don't want to hear your excuses!
But it's true! No matter how hard I try to be strong like you, I'm just a Pearl. I'm useless on my own. [cries] I need someone to tell me what to do.
[the walls suddenly stop moving; Both Amethyst and Steven pull her whip on its gears in its place. Garnet and Pearl pause for a beat]
When we fuse, I can feel what it's like to be you. Confident and secure, and complete. You're perfect. You're the perfect relationship. You're always together, I just... I wanted to be a part of that.
You're wrong! I'm not as strong as you think. I fell apart over this. Ruby and Sapphire were in turmoil over how you deceived me. [through screen] I came undone.
Whoa, that really happened?
It's not easy being in control. I have weaknesses too, but I choose not to let them consume me. I struggle to stay strong because I know the impact I have on everyone. Please understand, Pearl. [through screen] You have an impact too. [inside] There are times when I look up to you for strength. You are your own gem. You control your destiny. Not me, not Rose, not Steven. But you must choose to be strong, so we can move forward. So I can trust you again.
I understand. I can't give up anymore!
Stupid button here, I don't know what anything is AGGGH! [raises her fists in frustration] Blast this old Gem tech! Where'd they go? Why isn't anything working?!
[The Crystal Gems burst into the control bridge]
Surrender, Peridot! You have nowhere to run!
The Crystal Gems are gonna get you!
You really think this is the end?! [aims her blaster at the Gems; laughs] This, this is only the beginning... of my escape! [points her blaster away at the ceiling and fires an energy shot, blast a large hole in the roof of the ship, and begins to fly off again with her helicopter fingers; laughing tauntingly] Well, I'd love to stick around and watch another one of your pathetic attempts to capture me, but I guess I'm just too smart for the likes of you lumpy, clumpy, clods! [continues laughing until Steven grabs her onto one of her feet]
Hey! Get your touch-stumps off me, you Steven!
MDr. Maheswaran
[sighs] I had a rough day at work and I'm not in the mood for any more surprises.
MDr. Maheswaran
[takes off her jacket and hangs it on Rose's sword, mistaking it for a coat rack] There was a really strange case at the hospital today, straight out of a nightmare. [beat] Oh, don't worry, the rules of doctor-patient confidentiality keep me from sharing the graphic details, but... [realizing] Hang on a moment. When did we get a coat rack?
MDr. Maheswaran
[shocked] A SWORD?! Connie, where did you get this?!
I found it! I just... found it outside and I wanted to show it to Steven.
MDr. Maheswaran
How could you possibly think this is okay?!
MDr. Maheswaran
Do you know how many children I see everyday in the hospital who've cut their faces off playing with swords?!
MDr. Maheswaran
NONE!! Because they all have parents who love them, and who don't let them play around with deadly weapons like some kind of gang member! No playing with swords, under any circumstances! [her cell phone rings, answers it] This is Dr. Maheswaran. Yes, calm down, Stromberg. Another one?
[to Connie] Is she gonna give it back?
MDr. Maheswaran
All right, I'll-I'll be right there. [zips sword in duffle bag] I have to go to the hospital. I'll have a talk with your father to calculate just how grounded you are. [leaves, comes back] And we're using the abacus! [leaves again]
I hate that abacus. Steven, I'm so sorry. She took your mother's sword!
Maybe we can get her to change her mind?
She never ever changes her mind. We've got to get that sword back ourselves.
Mom... I'm really sorry about lying to you. It started off as a tiny secret, and then I felt like if I didn't hide it, you wouldn't let me see Steven ever again.
MDr. Maheswaran
Is that how you feel? Are we too controlling?
MDr. Maheswaran
I just wanted to be a good mother. I... I just wanted to protect you.
I can protect myself now! [Dr. Maheswaran pauses for a long beat, sighs]
MDr. Maheswaran
Okay. [Connie winces] We'll... pull back on the rules, and I'll try to keep an open mind about [Connie's lenses] this, and [Lion] that, and... him. [Steven stays frightened] It scares me that you can't talk to me. I need to know what's happening in your life. I... I need to step in when you're in over your head. Would you just promise me you'll stop all this lying?
[beat] That's a rule. [they embrace each other]
MDr. Maheswaran
I love you, honey.
Please, Mom. Don't make me do this.
BBarb
Make you? You said you wanted to sing.
Yeah! I did! I did! I did, I did. Just like I say lots of things like, "Hey, Mom. Swimming looks fun", then bam! Suddenly, I'm anchoring a 400 meter relay for the Beach City Seals. "Hey, Mom. I thought signing up for softball would be nice." 6 birthdays later, I'm still getting nothing but kneepads and batting helmets. "Hey, Mom. I wanna sing at this year's Beachapalooza", and what do I get? THIS! I just thought, for once, I get to do things my way, but you came in and took over everything like you always do.
BBarb
I just wanted everyone to know how talented my daughter is.
THIS is not your daughter.
BBarb
[stunned] I'm sorry.
[While Steven gets ready for bed, Peridot kidnaps him to the Galaxy Warp and forces him to fix the Homeworld Warp]
What do you want from me?!
I want to get off this lousy gem-forsaken planet!
[shapes her fingers into arrows and points down to the Homeworld Warp] You have to fix this!
You're my last chance. I've got no Flask Robonoids. I've got no foot! I've got no response from Yellow Diamond! [breathes in and out] I know (that) you fixed Lazuli's gem. Whatever you did, you've got to do it to the Homeworld Warp! Or else! [charges up her energy blaster, threatening to blast him]
Oh, o-okay, just give me a second! My mouth gets really dry when I'm scared. [licks his palm] Here goes. [slaps his palm onto the Homeworld Warp pad, but nothing happened]
[confused] What was that? It didn't do anything!
No. No, no, no, no, no! It has to work!
[laughs and sits down; plaintively] This was it. This was my last shot. [gasps] I'm gonna die here!
Hey, hey, come on. Earth isn't that bad.
It doesn't matter what Earth is like! It's not going to be like anything soon!
Wait. Y-You need me! I'm the only one who knows about the…
[Garnet grabs Peridot by the waist and squeezes her, poofing her to her gemstone as her limb enhancers fall to the ground]
[shocked] What on earth?!
Ugh, sick. There's bits of her all over.
Nope. She's right here. [bubbles Peridot's gemstone and sends it off to the temple] And now she's in the temple.
So… these weren't actually part of her body?
